Your work is getting better, but it needs work.
“I want to be candid about this draft: the evidence is clearer, but the conclusion repeats the opening.”
Candid means choosing to share a real opinion, assessment, or piece of information openly, rather than hedging it, softening it into euphemism, or leaving it unsaid.
We will work something out and be in touch.
“We have moved the meeting to 5:30 to accommodate your work schedule.”
Accommodate means to adjust or make an arrangement so a need, constraint, person, or request can be included or served.
Our plans are different; we should fix them.
“Let us map out the research, drafting, and presentation stages across both classes.”
To turn something unclear, mental, or scattered into an organized, visible version other people can review or act on — either a sequence of future steps, or the structure of something that already exists.
Start with the conversation in front of you. We'll surface only the expressions that fit.
